Point 10 is interesting. Stealing sort of coincides with one of my favourite ways to get me writing - reading.

Sometimes words seem to be hopping around my head but not hitting any grey matter. These are the times when I know what I want to say, but can't find the words or the coherence to write it down. This is when reading behaves like the priming aid to get the writing flowing. Sometimes reading material about the content I'm trying to write also makes it easier to find those words that are on the tip of my tongue but don't want to get out.
